i don't even know what my alternator looks like so I haven't unplugged anything from it. I also don't think it's my alternator because I've been driving around for about a week with my new battery and so far it's been okay besides the few busted lights, haha. Or could that just be because...

i did replace the battery when my car died because it was completely drained, i couldn't even jump start my car so had to get it towed.

I've had my headunit installed for a week now and in that period of time a brake light has gone out and a headlight has gone out. I think both happened when I was putting the faceplate on while driving first while braking and another time when my headlights were on. I also noticed that...

I was reading the instructional manual of HU and it states that it was designed to work with a 12V DC negative ground electrical system. Is this something special that I need for my car or can I still just ground it to the chassis of my car? I have Nissan which has no grounding cable so...

thanks guys, yeah i guess my headunit install was okay but what i did to the battery during that time probably drained it completely or something. I just took it to the shop and the guy thinks its the same thing. we'll see. thanks!

i unhooked my negative cable and then rehooked it afterwards. The thing is i couldnt get it on as tight as it was before I took it off. Think that could be the problem? I thought my battery had just died. As for letting my car idle for 15 minutes I don't know if it can last that long, ahha

i just completed my first headunit install on my '03 nissan sentra and everything seemed fine, my headunit powered up fine and sounded great. However, when my engine wouldn't start so I jumped it and drove around to get it to recharge some juice. After about 10 minutes my whole dash's...

would it be a bad idea to put all 3 wires together?

if it's true that nissan harnesses have no ground i wonder why my wiring harness put ground wires -_-;;. so should i tape up the ground wires on the wire harness and then just ground the wire from the headunit manually? I think i'm supposed to connect the grounds wires to something metal...

the guide just says "match and connect the appropriate wires from the car stereo connector to the appropriate wires of the plug provided with your stereo. For example, connect the 12 volt accessory lead of your stereo to the red wire on the Car Stereo Connector." and it also says "tape all...

I'm new to this stereo stuff but plan to install a HU i got by myself because it costs too much to get it done professionally. I got a JVC KD-G420 HU that has a ground wire but the wire harness that I have for my Nissan has 2 ground wires, one with the rear speakers that is specified as...
